RE: My quick Oil Painting from Mosquito Creek in Winter.... luckily .... there are no mosquitos here today.
There are quite a few artists on here that share photos of finished product. What is sorely missing, is artists that document their process. Artists that share the various stages of their work, their tools, their process, and the thoughts and emotions that are going into it would do very well.
Well... many artists like me are not all that great at writing. We also don’t want to share all the secrets of our Trade. We don’t earn anything from our paintings in the real world or here on Steemit .... maybe when we are dead our work will have some value. I have created many posts that show a Timelapse of my work... they made a little bit of Steem but hardly worth the effort. I make more from converting my Steem to SBD and back again. At least there is that.
Thank god for Youtube....
You don't have to give out all the secrets of your painting process. You don't have to be great at writing at all too. You can just simply narrate how you started the painting, what inspired you, how your day went, or include photos of your materials, share photos of your studio, etc.. they don't necessarily have to be a process of your work although Steemians appreciate that. Just know that one-photo posts might not likely get a big-big vote..
Yes.... I will try to add more information to my process if that is what it takes...... I am Always afraid that my words will influence the way people see my art.
